40 Years of Edmund Rice Camps Celebration
For over 40 years, Edmund Rice Camps Victoria have provided residential camp experiences for young people and families facing adversity. Developed and grown in Melbourne, Eddie Rice Camps have spread across the world and continue to provide an opportunity for intense relationship and confidence building through a 1:1 ratio of participants to volunteers. Each year, we provide a range of camp programs including kids, families and teens camps.
